William Tasker (poet)

William Tasker (dates of birth and death unknown) was a poet, primarily known for his contributions to [[anthologies]] of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Specific details about his life remain scarce. Research into his biography is ongoing, and currently available information is limited. Further investigation is needed to ascertain details such as his birth and death dates, place of birth, family life, and the full extent of his literary output. While his name appears in several published collections, individual works attributed solely to him are rarely found outside of these anthologies, suggesting he may have been a minor or relatively obscure figure in the literary landscape of his time. Further scholarly work is needed to comprehensively assess his contribution to the poetry of the period and determine his place within the broader context of 18th and 19th-century British poetry.
